Well...as some might already know...the powers that be finally caved and will be pressing charges under the Sedition Act and for illegal assembly against the protestors.
It took them 10 days to DECIDE on this. Mind you, they haven't acted yet. Yet, when a candlelight vigil was held in Dataran Merdeka, 16 people were arrested on the spot. So I am curious...Do we all need to have loudspeakers and severed animals heads and huge banners and threathen bloodshed to be left alone to protest a cause? Yes, it is a great that they finally decided to act. But why only after so much public protest and after so long ? How can you proudly repeat your 1Malaysia ideology when you discriminate so openly?
This news has spread internationally and I can guarantee anyone who has heard about it or watched would think that we are worse off than a third world country. I still can't believe it.
It's big talk about pressing charges and justice and all. I want to see what is the final outcome. What will they finally be charged with...who will be charged and what punishment will they receive.
